Low dimensional (D) carbon allotropes like graphene and nanotubes (CNTs) are in great interest because of their unique and outstanding properties in the focus of actual science & technology. In contrast much less is known for...

Nanotechnology draws on the fabrication of nanostructures. We have now succeeded in growing a unique carbon structure at the nanoscale that resembles a tiny twirled moustache. Our method might lead the way to the formation of...
